[Hiring] Developer - Web Development & UX @Oceans

Role Description

As a Developer – Web Development & UX, you will join an award-winning creative, marketing, and advertising agency supporting a diverse portfolio of multi-industry client accounts across digital experiences, print, web, email, and analytics. Operating across varied technical environments, you will serve as the hands-on technical engine delivering everything from new custom website builds, landing pages, and campaign microsites to responsive HTML email templates and marketing automation integrations.

This is not a visual page-builder or no-code role. You will step into a dynamic agency setting requiring genuine computer science fundamentals, strong legacy code comprehension, and sharp troubleshooting skills. You will take ownership of maintaining and modernizing inherited codebases—including sites built over a decade ago—while collaborating with creative and design teams to ensure that technical execution reflects high standards of usability, responsive architecture, and user experience.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on web development experience, demonstrating deep proficiency with HTML5, CSS3/SASS, JavaScript, and modern responsive design principles.
• Experience within an agency or multi-client setting is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience understanding, modifying, and debugging inherited or legacy codebases without documentation.
• Strong hands-on development expertise in WordPress (custom themes, ACF, Gutenberg) and practical exposure to Drupal.
• Proven ability to hand-code responsive HTML emails across Stripo, Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and HubSpot.
• Practical experience integrating third-party APIs, troubleshooting data connections, and managing forms across CMS and CRM ecosystems.
• Familiarity with collaborative tools and project management systems such as Microsoft Teams, Notion, Workfront, or Wrike.
• High autonomy, intellectual curiosity, and strong communication skills.

Requirements

• Translate approved creative concepts, business requirements, and design specifications into clean, responsive, and maintainable web pages and websites.
• Build custom landing pages, campaign-specific microsites, and reusable component architectures across varied project scopes.
• Architect and maintain custom WordPress implementations using custom themes, Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), and Gutenberg blocks.
• Develop, configure, and maintain Drupal content structures, custom content types, taxonomy fields, and core modules.
• Support HubSpot CMS development, including custom landing pages, interactive forms, and marketing automation components.
• Execute pre-deployment testing, cross-browser validation, and responsive device testing to ensure launch readiness.
• Review, understand, and debug complex, unfamiliar inherited client codebases and legacy systems.
• Investigate broken functionality, technical defects, layout regressions, and CMS-related conflicts.
• Implement targeted patches, updates, and architectural refactors while preserving full backward compatibility.
• Support ongoing site maintenance schedules, security updates, and plugin/module upgrades.
• Maintain rigorous documentation around legacy system quirks and technical remediation steps.
• Code responsive, cross-client HTML email templates built from scratch.
• Develop, test, and maintain email assets across specialized platforms.
• Troubleshoot rendering anomalies, client-specific CSS quirks, and formatting issues.
• Connect websites and digital properties to external systems, CRMs, and third-party web services via REST APIs.
• Troubleshoot data flows, form endpoints, and webhook connections.
• Interface with external implementation partners and support scoping, dependencies, and technical oversight.
• Partner with UI/UX designers and creative leads during project scoping.
• Manage multiple concurrent development tasks and shifting deadlines across distinct client environments.
• Conduct comprehensive end-to-end QA, functional testing, form validation, and performance audits.
• Coordinate clear, structured technical handoffs and status tracking across project management tools.

Benefits

• Remote role with a split shift and some overlap with client’s time zone.
• In-person training programs during the first 3.5 weeks.
• Guidance and support from your Operations Manager.
